PHP development built on Laravel 13, PHP 8.5, and production discipline
PHP still runs the majority of the web’s known server-side stack — but core PHP alone rarely fits a complex business application. We build with Laravel, CodeIgniter, CakePHP, and Laminas, choosing the framework that fits your project instead of forcing one onto it. Headquartered in London with a world-class engineering team in India, delivering for clients across the UK, US, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia for over a decade.
What we build
PHP solutions we deliver.
PHP sits alongside our Node.js, Python, and .NET backend practices as a core, actively maintained service — not a one-off capability we build up for your project.
Expert Team & Proven Experience
10+ years in the industry, with 500+ happy clients worldwide.
Custom Web Applications with Laravel
Laravel 13 remains our default for scalable applications and SaaS platforms — Eloquent ORM, Blade templating, and a mature ecosystem mean less time wiring up infrastructure and more time on your actual product.
Secure eCommerce Platforms
From product catalogues to payment gateways and inventory sync, we build Laravel-based commerce platforms with the security defaults — CSRF protection, hashing, validated input — handled from day one, not bolted on after launch.
API-First Backends
Using Laravel Sanctum or Passport for authentication, we build RESTful and GraphQL APIs that serve mobile apps, SPAs, and third-party integrations — with the routing, middleware, and rate limiting that production traffic actually needs.
Lightweight Apps & MVPs with CodeIgniter
When you need to validate an idea fast without the overhead of a full framework, CodeIgniter’s lightweight footprint and quick setup get an MVP in front of real users sooner.
Enterprise-Grade Modular Systems
For large, complex applications that need to be broken into independently maintainable modules, Laminas (formerly Zend) gives us the component-based architecture and advanced security features enterprise systems require.
Legacy PHP Modernization
Plenty of production PHP is still sitting on end-of-life versions. We audit, upgrade dependency by dependency toward PHP 8.4/8.5, and modernize ageing CodeIgniter or CakePHP apps without a risky full rewrite.
Our approach
A decade of PHP delivery, led from the UK
Building and shipping complex software since 2013, across 500+ clients in the UK, US, Europe, Japan, the Middle East, and Asia — we’ve already solved most of the classic PHP production problems before they cost you time and money. Our London team manages everything client-facing, from discovery through delivery sign-off, while our engineering team in India handles the deep technical work — senior oversight without the cost of a fully Western dev team.

Choosing a framework
Laravel, CodeIgniter, CakePHP, or Laminas — based on your project, not habit
Laravel is our default for scalable apps, SaaS platforms, and APIs. CodeIgniter fits lightweight builds and fast MVPs. CakePHP suits rapid commercial apps, and Laminas gives large, modular enterprise systems the component-based architecture they need. We tell you what’s worth using versus what isn’t — no defaulting to one tool for everything. And we take over existing PHP and Laravel codebases just as often as we start new ones, auditing dependencies and identifying end-of-life packages before modernizing incrementally rather than recommending an unnecessary rewrite.

Governance & process
Compliance, cloud infrastructure, and a clear delivery process
GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2 controls — encryption, access control, and audit logging — are designed in from the first architecture decision, not patched in later once a client or regulator asks for them. The backend behind your application is built by an AWS and Microsoft Azure certified partner, giving direct platform support and deep cloud expertise on every deployment. We start with 1–2 weeks of discovery and architecture planning, move into 1–3 weeks of prototype and technical validation, build in continuous sprints with weekly progress reports, and follow every launch with 90 days of active support covering monitoring, bug fixes, and performance tuning.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What we hear most often about PHP projects — framework choice, modernization, security, and what happens after launch.
What kinds of PHP projects do you take on?
Custom web applications, eCommerce platforms, API backends, lightweight MVPs, enterprise modular systems, and legacy PHP modernization. Our experience spans retail, healthcare, hospitality, and service-based businesses.
Which PHP framework will you use for our project?
Laravel for scalable apps, SaaS, and APIs. CodeIgniter for lightweight builds and MVPs. CakePHP for rapid commercial apps. Laminas for large, modular enterprise systems. We’ll recommend one after understanding your requirements.
Is PHP still a good choice in 2026?
Yes — PHP still powers the large majority of websites with a known server-side language, and modern PHP (8.4/8.5) with Laravel is fast, typed, and well-tooled. The risk isn’t the language, it’s running an end-of-life version.
Can you modernize our existing PHP or Laravel app?
Yes. We regularly take over existing PHP codebases — auditing dependencies, identifying end-of-life packages, and upgrading incrementally rather than recommending an unnecessary rewrite.
How do you handle security in PHP applications?
CSRF and XSS protection, hashed credentials, validated input, and role-based access control are built in from the start, along with regular dependency audits for known vulnerabilities.
What happens after the application is launched?
We include 90 days of post-launch support covering monitoring, bug fixes, and performance tuning. After that, we offer optional retainers for feature development and version upgrades.
Ready to build on PHP that’s actually current?
If you have a system in mind — or an ageing PHP app that needs a real upgrade path — start with a conversation. We’ll tell you what’s feasible, what it will take, and which framework actually fits.
